You are kidding, right? How can anyone justify using taxpayer money to impliment, let alone run, this idea? Don't you think the Police have enough on their hands what with cut-backs, increasing (REAL)crimes, that you want to burden them with this? It's only Wi-Fi! God forbid someone jacks into an unsecured WAP and checks the Stack Market!

Want to slow(stop) spammers? Backtrace the source and take out the source. You know, the hosts that are being "Spammer-Friendly"...

DUH! Oh yeah, let's have the Police doing their own wardriving, looking for open access points! Isn't that what this is all about stopping? Oxymoron?
Hello! What do you propose the powers that be do when an open access point is found? Call in the SWAT Team?
